The Terrible Aphis.

Ibid YOU see that speck on this
slidep"
The reporter of the New York Mail
closely examined the glass slide of the
microscope The eye, unaided by the
lens, could distinguish absolutely
nothing.
"Now look through this tube"
The reporter gazed through the long
tubes of the big binocular microscope.
On the slide there was plainly to be
seen, instead of a single speck, col
lection of monsters, who were crawl
ing around on the glass uneasily, as
if out of their natural element.
s'See their long legs, peculiar eyes
and ferocious appearance" observed
the entomologist in whose uptown
office the research was being made.
.'Those are aphides or plant lice. The
aphis only weighs 1-100th of grain.
Its life is short, and its habits are de-
structive in the extreme to all kinds OF
plants, particularly those which are
reared indoors.

The Commodnre's sfgual.

Commodore Gerry is great stickler
for marine etiquette. He steps the
bridge himself and has thereon con-
trived an electric system of signals
which facilitates the varions functions
of his boat. When the captain steps on
board he presses button aud bang
goes gun. Another, and pop goes
a cork. Ii passing yacht salutes. a
third pressure causes the colors to dip.
It is said that the other day when
schooner yacht bowled into Bay Ridge
the commodore was at some psins to
distinguish her club signal, which was
vexatiously hidden by her clut top
sail. As she luffed to to drop anchor
the Eastern Yacht Club pennant was
disclosed. In his haste he pressed
button five or six times. The quarter
master at the taffrail lowered and
raised the colors the same number of
times the bell rang.
Hello, there you monkeyp screamed
the commodore who never uses bad
language; s.what are you jerking that
flag up and down forP"
s.Our order is, sir, to dip whenever
you ring. You rang six times, sir, so
tdipped six times"

Fishery Notes.

The fishery season in this section, now

cessful. The Delaware City boats caught

hood of 81 per pound. The kegs average
$50 pounds, each. Messrs. R. Anderson
& Son are the printipal manufacturers
here, although several parties are engaged
in it,
About 400 tons of ice was used in fish
packing this season.
At Port Penn, little below this point,
tine catch was 10000 shad and 200 stur-
geon. There were about p shad and II
sturgeon boats engaged. Wash. Thomas

partly filled with new mown hay, with
bells on their horses, the ladies charming
the jewellers by the way with the music
of merry laughter or sweet songs, the
men invariably heralding their approach
by the blowing of horns. The evident
enjoyment of the excurtionists had
happy influence on all who had the good
fortune to see them.

A GOOD Dry GOOD House.

One of the first things that strike the in
quisltve visitor to Delaware City is the
unusual number Of old established bust.
ness houses, firms that have been in ex-
stence for a score or more of years. This
is at once suggestive of solidity, reliability
and sound business methods.
Messrs. ]. r. Pennington & Co.. on Gin
ton street, though in the prime of life, are
veteran dry-goods men, possessing that
ripe experience which fits them to make
good their reputation as leaders in all
lines The store is prominently located
fronting the water, thoroughly stocked
with the,most desirable goods for the sea-
son, among which are mll lines of foreign
and domestic dry goods hats, caps, hard
ware, groceries and provisions, tobacco
and cigars and the thousand and one
articles belonging to thoroughly first
class and well-stocked establishment. A
visit to Messrs. ]. R. Pennington & Co..

An Old Land Mark.

The Delaware City Hotel, at the corner
of Clinton and Harbor streets, is remem-

State as an old landmark. 1t is the
largest and most roomy house in the city,
and one of the best conducted obstetrics

proprietor, has been catering TO the pub,
lie for many years. Within the past year
he has refurnished his house throughout
with entirely new carpets, furniture, etc.
The proprietor has the reputation of hav-
ing the best class Of patronage in his line
of business, and one can feel safe in the
assurance that nothing but the choicest of
the markets and the best grade Of wines
and liquors find their way to his house,
Mr.. Stout and his excellent lady, who
is a model hostess, deserve the success

About Harvesting.

Harvesting, that busy and exciting
season of hard work and long days, is
progressing satisfactorily. In the olden
time when the work had to be accom-
plished with hugh scythe and brawny
arms the labor not unfrequently extended
into August. But in these days of i'm
proved machinery the season is usually a
short one. In this connection good
story is told of Mr.. Thomas Turner, an
old farmer of this place, who ignores the
modern self-binder. s-=.at =
A pir'stes 4,srstag ilong Oh day and
-cGsersed him leisurely swinging his
scythe. GLOW is IT," inquired the minis

(which says, Let your moderation be

Another minister coming along and
finding Mr.. T. working might and main,
asked him why he was in such hurry?
Il now according to Scripture he re-
piled which saith Whatsoever thy hand
findeth to do do it with all thy might"
Mr.. Turner's methods are not so rapid
but he gets there all the same, and nc
man eats whittier bread
Aside from some sli glt damage by the
fly the yield of wheat is good.

Not A Fish story.

Among the very companionable gentle
men who, with their families, are sojourn-
ing at the City Hotel are Messrs. S. C..
Woman and Thomas Fitzgerald, the for
mer importer of wines and liquors, 355
North Second Street, Philadelphia, and
the latter of the Germantown pa. Hosie-
ry Mills. These gentlemen, with one or
two friends, went for a few hours, sport
among the finny tribe. From the number
of baskets filled with provisions and the
hampers of various articles on ice that
fairly loaded the boat to the gunwales, it
was wondered where they proposed to
put their catch. Curiosity was. satisfied
when the party returned late in the alter
noon. They had performed the magi-
clans trick of transforming the original
contents OF those baskets. hambers, ETC.,
into fiish-real fiish-such as rock, pearch,
catfish, and the like, to the extent OF
about 90 pounds. Our native fishermen
think that these Philadelphia sports will
force them to look more closely TO their
aurels, with practice.

where to Hire A Team.

A well kept livery stable is not only an
important adjunct to any well kept hotel,
but Indispensable auxiliary to any enter
prising community. Mr.. James NJ. Jes-
ter well fills the bill in this matter as the
very stylish turnouts he furnishes his pa
irons well prove. Mr.. Jester is model
livery stable keeper and altogether good
citizen who is unfailing in taking hold
of whatever his hands can find to do in
the advancement of the City's interests.
Mr.. Jester has in training fine road
ster, the property of mine host Stout.
Mr.. J. is of the opinion that the animals
good qualities will measure well up to the
mark of his high pedigree

Heavy Wind and Rain.

A heavy gale from the Southeast set in
at about 8 o'clock on the night of the
Fourth and continued with increasing
power until late in the afternoon of Tues
day. 1t was at the highest of its severity
about Il o'clack A. NJ, the rain pouring
down in torrents. Several large crafts
bound out were compelled to come to
anchor below the Fort. Beyond the up
roofing of several trees, the breaking of
some branches and the running of few
awnings but little damage resulted in
town 1t is feared that much of the wheat
as yet left standing, was injured.

THE FOURTH of JULY.
A Quiet and Orderly Obsev-
auce-Bunting. Music
and Fireworks.

Delaware City has ever been distin-
gushed for the patriotic manner in which
its citizens celebrate the anniversary
of the Declaration of independence.
Elaboration usually forms no part in the
arrangements, a spontaneous sentiment
of the people being relied on for every
thing necessary for its prompt and proper
observance. AS it has been in past years
so it proved on Monday last.
The morning opened clear and bright,
and the sun, as it arose from beyond the
Jersey hills and poured its floods of gold
upon the Delaware, was welcomed by the
many starry banners that had been thrown
to the breeze from public place and pri-
vate dwelling.
The day throughout was characterized
by good order, quiet enjoyment and a
cheerful acquiescense in the very reasona-
BILE injunctions of our respected Mayor.
Visitors from the surrounding country
flocked to town in carriages or from neigh
boring cities by steamboats,. Fishing par
ties were formed fas thev are in fact every
day at this charming resort with pleasure
